Good looking litter. Mama is probably ready for a day off.
Kinda curious as to the fine outfit you had on honey bun. Pretty sure I've never heard that from my wife. I must be dressing wrong.

They seem all in great health. Very content and confident, the runt is the tough one. Always, the runt RR pup ends up the dominate dog. Apparently the they have a higher metabolism, burn more calories and in better shape physically. She calls them tighty whities(the outfit). May be TMI . Curious, there ya go. Give it a go captbob, may better your luck.

How cool is that James-Thumbs up The quietest Mom and litter of pups I've every seen. I give Mom a deep massage on her shoulders and hams and she loves it. Hurts me to think about laying on one side so long. Gotta get stove up.

How fun! There is nothing any more endearing than a liter of puppies. "Mom" sure produced a fine family there, that's for sure.

Fast, yhanks James! I luv puppies! Some have white spots, is that OK with the show quality? Yep. The white feet is a signature in our line. It's allowable below the ankle. Intention is no white for camouflage in the breed description. Everything else is super tight. Judges have about been forced to put up the white, been about the only flaw. Caused controversy. Judge would rather put up Excellent hips and elbows with white feet than dis-plastic dog. Good call Bill. I just thought you were a horse whisperer.

Naw James helped show English Mastiffs for a long time. Like to go to Buck Pa. They have huge Mastiff classes. Bunch of Champion of Champions there. I favor the Old School bloodlines, they are smaller and tend toward very dark brindles. The judges are prejudiced in America and place fawns ahead. With DNA nowadays they AKC is having to admit some off colors because a registered number bred to a registered number gets a number. Showed and raised Danes for a long time too. Harlequins, the heartbreak color, the good ones always come as Merle and you can't show them.

puppies are one of the best therapies- who could stay depressed when interacting with all that optimistic young life force? They are beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

Add European standards and confusion seems to enter the 'judging'. Sounds like you have been there done that. My wife's white feet thing presented difficult decisions for the judges. Similar to the Merle in Harlequins. Judge said to heck with sway back dis-plastic hip dogs, put up the white feet and get some solid dogs in the breed. Ours play like this till the age of 9 - 10 yeas old.

I love the white feet, they get them from walking on clouds. There is nothing in the world like puppy breath...
Cute little rascals, thanks for sharing them.

This litter has much less white, ya never know. Often the best show quality pup will have white above the ankle and not usable for show. Hate to see a dog with perfect structure get sidelined for hair color.
